The Archive Addon is a free extension that allows you to display a public list of your past newsletters on any WordPress page. This is a common practice to showcase your content to new visitors and improve SEO.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Public Listing: Automatically generates a list of sent newsletters, typically showing the Subject and Date.
Newsletter View: When a user clicks a title, the newsletter is displayed either in an iFrame (to prevent your site’s CSS from breaking the newsletter layout) or as a full-page view.
Targeting: You can filter the archive to show newsletters sent to a specific list or exclude private campaigns.
Automated Support: Can list newsletters generated by the “Automated” addon (RSS-to-email).
[newsletter_archive]The primary way to display the archive is by placing a shortcode on a WordPress page. It supports several attributes for customization:
| Attribute | Description | Example |
list |
Filters the archive by a specific List ID. | [newsletter_archive list="1" /] |
type |
Displays newsletters from the “Automated” addon (use the channel ID). | [newsletter_archive type="automated_1" /] |
show_date |
Set to true or false to toggle the date visibility. |
[newsletter_archive show_date="true" /] |
target |
Use _blank to open the newsletter in a new tab or _self for an iframe. |
[newsletter_archive target="_blank" /] |
max |
Limits the number of newsletters displayed. | [newsletter_archive max="10" /] |
Pro Tip: You can add a custom introduction by wrapping text in the shortcode:

iFrame Mode (Default): The newsletter opens within your site’s layout inside an iframe. This ensures the responsive HTML of the email doesn’t conflict with your theme.
Full Page Mode: If your theme or page builder (like Elementor or Divi) struggles with iframes, you can set the archive to open newsletters as standalone HTML pages.
Excluded Newsletters: By default, “Private” newsletters and newsletters currently in the “Sending” status are hidden from the public archive.
Install the Addon: Go to the Newsletter > Addons panel in your WordPress dashboard and look for “Archive.”
Create a Page: Create a new WordPress page (e.g., /newsletter-archive).
Insert Shortcode: Paste [newsletter_archive /] into the editor.
Configure Settings: Access the Archive settings under Newsletter > Archive to set global preferences for the date format and title styles (H2, H3, etc.).
